/// Maybe it's okay, but when the sun is gone /// ~ 3 minutes and dawn will arise again 3 minutes and a blessing will shine on me Filling me with song and wisdom and joy 'Cause I'll stay close to you Without fear that you might forget Oasis in my eyes, an anchor keeping me sane “And you'll prove to me that I am made to be loved” I pray this story won't be ending in pain 'Cause I can't reach for you my dear As these wings are stuck here Warm breeze after warm breeze I try And seize one of all these moments slipping by (And I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try…) Seizing us before you’ll fade into memories Saving you before I’ll fade into my dreams And as your Angel, I know This holy river will forever flow Hold on, my dear Cause I will run, run, run to save you in the morning Oasis in my eyes, an anchor keeping me sane “And you'll prove to me that I am made to be loved” I pray this story won't be ending in pain 'Cause I won't reach for you my dear As these wings are stuck here ~ \\\ Wake up, our dawn is golden \\\

Give me all your hope when the stars finally align I was part machine tell me who am I? Back beyond the past back before the sizzle and spark We were all alone in the flickering dark Once upon a time when we found some kind of home I was by your side where we could touch the sky And I owe it all to you and I owe it to us together Keep together (we've got this) Changing weather (stay honest) What led us here to colorful manes and hopeful coats and hooves? A passing moment to describe a glimmer of wonder With the seas I saw inside and the waves that crashed on by Give me all your hope a tiny garden in which to thrive A seaside shack, the moon and the sun waving goodbye, Twilight What led us here to colorful manes what led us here to colorful manes What led us here to colorful manes and hopeful coats and hooves!

did you talk to me i always had trouble with speech i guess i don't mind you hovering always hovering somewhere, just out of reach on another side on another side chasing butterflies 'neath the pearlescent sky look right through me with glowing blue eyes fixed on episode three, season infinity darken all you can see always a puzzle to me or were you singing? i know that we're bound to descend i bet you'll be good at it soon or maybe you could start to pretend pull against the tide pull against the tide strap in for the ride never demoralised oh, i could accompany you maybe you'll stay around? claim your section of the frequency spectrum with a robot like me it's a reasonable fantasy but no one and nothing is free chances are it'll be just fine

I'll Take You on the bus ride there The Pony Swag Megamix back in rough night air A blind bag in my pocket, need to up my share In Hasbro for the show's sake, I love my mares and I'm sixteen, as yet unknown for the sixteens In high school, I'm counting down the days til I get free Excepting Saturdays, when I'm watching through S3 Then family told me I need therapy and my chest squeeze Such words often bespoke an awful advance: They saw me as the plot of the joke and not of the land But something grows here, they don't offer a glance When making marks that can last is at the heart of my clan How it seizes you (uh) creating over many days - Want it, need it, later you hate it and make it anyway S'how it goes - now I'm 20 and I'm listless Over liking shows or spending money on my interests Couldn't MC after MMC But it was almost foundational, SGP My roommate brought me back to it, watch three sea- sons and loving each one and then he leaves, okay 21, now my college days are over with Sitting in apartments alone is kind of sobering I make stuff, attain fame under a post trip: Ditherer, rap a small fire like if Smoulder spit Each day escaped, one by one nights passed And this continued as the ponies came to bump my tracks And then occasionally I'd leave, later come right back A finger up, warning them this one's among my last They don't believe me. I don't either - I mean, hey, I'm flooding like Memebase in '11 or Freewave And not a NotACleverPony, though I don't mean hate Cus lately I been dreaming people'd all call me 'she' - Wait. (Damn it.) ----- 24 for now, waiting for Autumn like a Ditzy is, but Where'm I gonna be after I pull another fifty six? Not making pone songs, yeah, but what's the cutoff On one-offs for background ponies I work my butt off I'm not OP, but still I gotta know where the threads is A dressmaker lurking by the renegade setlists It won't last, and I tentatively accept this I sense this is representative of the census Of ponyfolk, least all of the ones who've been around some Choices are us forging a path and leave the sounds up Or wax evasive, rap the tapes, ignoring time Crack V8s and watch G8 in '49 And we're immortalized - that is, we're archived My heart lies beating in the depths of your hard drives In hard times, kinda wish I'd played the guitar, eyes Above, trot a path by the light of the star signs And so it goes: in the vein of creator stories Mixing all that sappy stuff in between the tornado warnings And even if our cons melt into the consensus There'll always be a couple pony ears in attendance It's endless, their irons spending months in the fire And only catch up on my good fics once I'm retired Made a bridge series from the older to the newer Dith So if I'm not fly, you can catch me pulling scooter tricks, Due to quit, yet I'm still riding, tryna humor this The horse in my blood has probably got something do with it Normal rappers staring at me like I've got two heads And then put a verse up, it get worse, you bet And it's another twelve comments as a token of love, thanks The day-to-day'll often keep a pone in a rough place, Quit saying "too late" and just go for it, son, ace 221: a book-open-and-shut case

In the Twilight of the day Memories remain on my mind All that could have been but never was As the Sunset fades to grey I find it hard to leave it behind Life goes on but not for me because I can't get to sleep How can they do it so easy? Now the Starlight has begun This is who I'm destined to be I'm at the peak and, yet, I feel so small There was Friendship, Moon, and Sun Now there's only one of the three And I don't know if I can do it all I can't get to sleep How can they do it so easy? I count a thousand sheep So what does that say about me? Hold my heart, every part Through the veil, through the veil I can't get to sleep How can they do it so easy? I count a thousand sheep So what does that say about me? Once I cross the line I'm taken into the sunlight I'd like to say I'm fine But it still goes on Hold my heart, every part Through the veil, through the veil Still I yearn to return Through the veil, through the veil

Twilight is searching for stars to fill her sky. White light blinds her, the sun is far too bright. Dark night brings her to somewhere deep inside. Twilight is searching for something she can’t find. Something strange has happened to the flowers and the trees. This is not, is not, the time for them to change their leaves. (So) Twilight wanders through letters she can’t write. Time stands still when she looks into her eyes. Twilight’s tears flow, and pools reflect her light. Try as she might, she cannot calm the tides. Something strange has happened to the rainbow in the sky. The light has cast a shadow and the colors aren’t quite right. (As) Twilight is burning up, a fire she can’t fight. Crystal trees shine, with light leaves as sharp as knives Ink and graphite be- come the darkest light. Twilight takes flight, she cannot bear to cry. Something strange has happened to the sun, the moon and stars. The constellations vanished, but their light has left a scar. (But) Twilight is fading, as darkness fills the sky. Moonlight is dripping in- to her violet eyes. Starlight is singing a lonely lullaby. Daylight is dancing a- way from paradise. Something strange has happened to the rivers and the sea. The water’s standing still and re- flections can’t be seen. (Now) Twilight is sleeping, as memories pass her by. Sun follows moonshine, the beauty of the night. Twilight is ending, and so she says goodbye.

tell me why you came here I thought that you’d be safer I thought that I could leave you :: dear I don’t know what you gave me I don’t know what I planned I saw the face before me and broke it in my hand :: broke it in my hand for a while :: we could lie here :: could lie & all my friends are near me & all my friends are sad for me :: don’t be losing a world is easy if you never stopped looking up you’d never see the bed of stars :: beneath me for a while :: we could lie here :: could lie :: for a while :: we could lie here :: could lie :: for a while :: we :: for a while :: we could lie here :: for a while :: we could lie here :: could lie here :: could lie here :: could lie here :: could lie stay :: just stay now we’ll both :: lose our names now just wait :: just tell me you’ll love me still :: when the stars burn out :::: open the door you thought you would keep the moon away you thought that the view looked exactly the same :: lying down on your floor they entered your dreams before when you thought you could touch them they’d constellate when they opened your mouth how you couldn’t explain :: why you’d been so forlorn & all my hands are tied & oh your eyes are beautiful & all my thoughts were mine I gave them all away :: who knows what we’ll find

where are we now a brand new life ahead look at us now like the stars that split now shift to red and i i dont regret a thing and i i wont forget a thing This life that we found holds years of love and friends and as good as it sounds there comes a time when everything ends But the time we spent wont go away and the love we sent wont go away my friends are still beside me now and our songs still reside within me now It takes some time to change I know but we’ve been changing all these years you know watch me be this light speed space ship past the new worlds futures unfurled pasts are great things meant to be things memories left there in our minds care roads before us yes they scare us but our strength comes from our past sum

“De todo lo pasado ¿cuánto queda, cuánto sirve y para qué?” ~ Miguel Bosé

The Rest of Our Lives is a fanmade My Little Pony album where musicians come together and express their feelings of gratitude towards the show, the creators and the fan communities around it. It’s a reflection on change, on beginnings and endings.

Both the title and motif are placed in the morning after the coronation in the finale, when the parties have been celebrated, the thank yous have been told, and the first day of the rest of the character’s lives has begun, lives that they may at times have felt uncertain about, lives that we don’t get to see. The album's arc follows that night, when the party is dying down, follows the characters into the deep stillness of the night, and emerges on the other side of the night, with the first few rays of the first day of the rest of their lives.

In a similar fashion, the end of Friendship is Magic is a moment that lends itself to reflection. After years in this fandom we can really take in all that’s happened to us, the friends we’ve made, the experiences we had, the lessons we learned (and continue to learn), and how it might have helped shape our lives too. Chapters end and chapters begin, and who are we now as we stand on these crossroads? When we look out into the rest of our lives, what is it we see?
